Completely restored 38 sedan deluxe. Chocolate brown and really nicely done. Drives well. Approx 2000 miles since restoration. Can't figure out how to attach pic.

Sent my crab distributor and carb to Charlie a while ago to see if he could help my yucky running 38. Got the parts back yesterday, installed them this morning and fired it up. WOW. What a difference. Big difference in idle and throttle response. Wants just a tad bit of choke so will have to...

Have really enjoyed the latest pics of the cars with the big and little tires. Almost all show white walls or black walls on white wheels. I am considering them on my 38 sedan with wide 5's, but do not want whitewalls. Anybody have a picture of big and little black walls on black wide fives with...

Back again for more excellent advice!! My 38 has the wide 5 wheels. 5 on 10 1/2. Does anybody know a way to balance these ? Went to Discount Tire and they say no. My local guys say these old units don't need it, but mine seems to feel as tho it wants a balance job. I there an adapter available...

38 sedan restored before I got it. Everything looks really well done, but oil pan leaking a bunch from drivers side front area of rail. Question: How much of a job is it to pull the pan and replace the gasket? If it is easy, I will tackle it. If it is hard, probably not. I am not sure I can...

Posted this on the other site also: Any way to put tube shocks on my 38 sedan with mechanical brakes? Just finished repairing the whole mechanical system with the help of FlatheadTed, and they are now working quite well. The car does porpoise quite a bit with any kind of road deviation, even tho...

Do you guys know if there is a radiator fan shroud that will fit my 38 sedan? Have searched a lot but all I have found is modern fiberglass units that must be heavily modified. I still have the fan on the generator, not an electric fan. Didn't Ford put one for the pickups?

Now that I have the 38 sedan running pretty good, I find that the brakes leave a lot to be desired. Am thinking of converting with the kit from Early Ford. I realize that I will have to change drums and probably hubs, which puts me into 15" wheels and tires. You guys with the 15" on your rides...

Some of you may remember I wrote in a few months ago and had just purchased the 38 sedan that was rebuilt from ground up. Looks fantastic but have been chasing a few gremlins, mostly low power. I started with pulling the distributor to advance it cause I could not see the hash mark scale on the...

Is there a way to test the oil pressure sending unit to see if it is the sender or the gauge? Dash gauge does not show any pressure. I guess I could add a gauge under the hood but it is nice to have one where you can see it all the time. Don't know if 6 volt electric gauge is available? Really...

38 sedan at high altitude. I want to advance the timing as others have suggested but don't know if I have to take the distributor off to do it or can I adjust the vacuum break to advance it? I have been recommended to advance it 3-4 degrees. How do you measure 3-4 degrees additional advance...

New guy back again. Recently purchased 38 deluxe sedan. Came with a bunch of pictures of complete frame off restoration and very nicely done. Did not get any info on the flathead but appears as tho everything on the outside of the engine is rebuilt or new and painted. Previous owner says it has...

New guy here. just bought a 38 sedan and local old guys tell me that because of the altitude we are at i should advance the timing by 2-3 degrees. car came from the plains about 3500 ft lower. how do you change the timing? where are the timing marks?

Wanting to install a hot water heater in my 38 sedan. Want a rebuilt unit, 6 volt, something that would look period correct. I have heard 40 heaters looked okay, but have not seen one. Thanks
